Global and Domestic Calls

We're still working on the House microcredit letter. I have to call Meagan Linn back (in Loebsack's office) and follow up on him signing it. I also want to talk to Jos to see if we should be working on Bruce Braley in Iowa's First District, since there's no RESULTS group there.

I'm watching one of my great-nieces, Raelynn, age 6, on Friday night and Saturday, and there is a wedding at Christ Episcopal Church, so I'm not driving in for the conference calls. I may be asked to share about our herb bread fundraiser on the domestic call, so I hope Raelynn understands that Aunt Diane will be on the phone for an hour on Saturday. She'll have her videos with her and I'll get out a snack for her and Piphi should leave her alone.

The domestic call today focused on fundraising. Through our conversations, I've decided to move up to the next level of giving to RESULTS and send them a check every month rather than just once a year. The RESULTS staff has been tremendously supportive in what I find myself doing. Lisa Marchall sent me her materials from the new member training calls and I'm adapting them for the training we're going to do Oct. 21 and 28 at the Muslim American Society.

Speaking of that training, does anyone want to go along on the 28th, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. to share what RESULTS means to you? I had six people sign up, so I'm looking forward to them joining our group. Three men and three women. Leland will be pleased to not be the only man anymore!

And speaking of outreach, I'm still waiting to hear about doing an informational meeting at Temple Judah on the southeast side of town. I haven't called Rabbi Aaron lately and I should. Been up to my elbows in butter!
